Ron! Back in the "old days" when I first started using computers, long
before the dot-matrix printer was invented, "emulations" were used NOT
drivers. When the dot-matrix printer came about these emulations were of
the IBM Pro-Printer and the Epson line of printers usually the LQ-860/850
and the IBM Pro-Printer X24E, Proprinter24P, PS/1 printer, NEC 24-wire
Graphics commands.
Whatever OS you are using just add the printer based on the closest emulation.
HTH,
